The Discovery of Riiwenzori. 



As may be seen by this table, the Mobuku Valley was the 

 route chosen by the greatest number of the expeditions. By 

 this route the high terminal ridge had been reached three times. 

 By this route Wollaston and liis companions had succeeded in 

 ascending two peaks of the chain, one of which was estimated 

 at over 16,000 feet high. It would appear that Dr. David must 

 have reached a still higher point by tlie western slopes ; but as 

 I have already mentioned, the accounts of his expedition, which 

 are at our disposal, are so vague as to render it impossible to 

 identifv the col which he ascended.
